Issue Summary

Hello,

According to drupal.org/project/memcache, memcache has been installed for points 1 & 2.
im
putting memcache in sites/all/modules, i dont see module 'memcache' in package Caching, only "Memcache Admin".
In sites/all/modules/memcache, I also dont see a memcache.module. Is this ok?

In settings.php, i added the line

'cache_inc' => './sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.db.inc',

Is there maybe an installation setup line i could have missed?

I found the same issue..

From the CVS in the 6.x branch, 2 files have been declared "dead" since August 2008: memcache.module and memcache.install.
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/memcache/?hide...

This would cause issues for anyone installing this module for the first time but not for someone else who just upgrades as the tables would already exist.

Can someone who already has the module installed, confirm that these tables for Memcache exist in their database? That way I know it's ok to still uses these "dead" files.

Moving to critical as it seems essential for this module to function..

Memcache is not a module, and that's why it doesn't show up in the modules list. Iit's a caching system, and you enable it by adding lnes to settings.php.

It is in fact confusing that it's installed in the modules directory.

There is a module which you can enable or disable: memcache_admin.

From the project page (http://drupal.org/project/memcache)

Under Installation:

"5. Download and install the memcache module."

Sure makes it sound like the module ought to be installed/enabled.

Furthermore, the README.txt that accompanies the 6.x module also says (under Installation)

4. Download and install the memcache module.
5. If you have previously been running the memcache module, run update.php.

At the very least, it would be very helpful to clarify since this "module" deviates from the way "normal" modules work.
